Names

 

In my years of keeping mice, there is one problem that keeps coming back, no matter how experienced I am, how many mice I have, how many breeders I know, where the mice come from, or what colour or type they are. It’s a problem that faces every pet owner, from every walk of life, with no exceptions… What’s in a name?? So, I have collected and constructed a Master Names Database, of sorts, to help me name those rascally rodents who refuse to be identified. Now, I offer it to you :)
